“President Obama is Quite Clearly a Socialist”

The other day, Obama stated to the American people, while speaking to alleged American businessmen of the CEO type, that the policies he desires to implement are not socialism.

Evidently Bill O’Reilly thinks that individuals labeling Obama as a socialist are crossing some type of rhetorical line in labeling Obama as a socialist, no matter how far left Obama veers.

Adam Shaw, writing at the American Thinker, noted O’Reilly’s hesitation in calling Obama a socialist, and comments on O’Reilly’s hesitation in a piece titled Obama’s Socialism, from which I will quote a few salient lines.

Here in Britain we look at the continuing battle as to whether Obama is a socialist or not as a rather odd American quibble. In Britain we have no problem defining people as socialists, nor do people on the left have a problem calling themselves socialists. It is not that those of us on the conservative right do not believe that socialism is a bad doctrine. We do, and we see evidence of its continual destruction of the country on a day-to-day basis, but we have always had socialism living quite openly amongst us. We are therefore able to see and recognize it quite calmly as a day-to-day occurrence in politics, just as one recognizes the flu. We wish it didn’t exist, but it does, and so we get on with our lives, trying to avoid catching it in the process.

And this.

I have a lot of respect for Bill O’Reilly, but to a Brit who has seen his fair share of socialists and lives in a socialist country run by a self-described socialist party by a self-described socialist prime minister who has taken over for another self-described socialist prime minister, it is puzzling why self-described independents like Mr O’Reilly are doing backflips in an attempt to avoid the obvious fact—President Obama is quite clearly a socialist.

President Obama is quite clearly a socialist, and as Shaw states in his piece, Americans should quit deluding themselves in regards to this fact.
